How to change *.psp to *.jpg at SaveAsDialog default setting in 5.01
meno
In 4.14 can allow us change default setting format in SaveAsDialog to other
format such as *.jpg
In windows95 regedit.exe I find a new setting creat in the "SaveAsTypes" :
DWORD JPG 0x00000000(0).
After that when press F12 open the SaveAsDialog Box the default format is
changed to *.jpg
It is very nice function when people continue save many new image one by one
to *.jpg format.
But in 5.01, I can't find this function. The default format always show
*.psp
I need change *.psp to *.jpg in each new image. It is make waste many time
to do this.
Well what mean about "SaveAsPSPFormat" : DWORD 0x00000001(1) in SaveAsDialog
in Windows95 regedit.exe ?
Can change this pin to fix my program?
Q.2
When opening scan tools in 5.01 all function key can't be use, such F12,
shift-R,......
Thanks for your attention!!

Hi Laurie,
Actually no one was making fun of anyone.
The thread starts with a question, to which Ian had replied that the answer was
on page 28, and I then reminded him that not everyone has a manual.
Ian acknowledged that point, and the thread then continues on into a general
discussion on the value of manuals and the the likelyhood that they are
actually read all the time by anyone.
The buildup of selected multiple quotes being pasted and repasted can obscure
the point of the thread and often who actually said what.
It appears that I am making the (pretty sure,only meant to be humorous) comment
about the manual which was actually made by Ian, because of the way my name was
later quoted throughout the rest of the posts.
Any thread can become an ongoing discussion that may lead off in several
different directions at the same time. This gets confusing and leads to
misinterpretations as to the actual flavor of the conversation. Sometimes the
only way to sort it out is to go back to the beginning of a thread and read
each post in order.
Once anyone becomes familiar with the group, they will find plenty of good
natured ribbing, shorthand style conversations and some differences of opinion.
However, everyone is very respectful, friendly and kind.
About the only targets would be spammers or someone asking for a crack. I have
to admit they are indeed, "open season" and pretty much "dead meat" around
here.
Everyone else is safe from abuse and very welcome.

I doubt that Jasc will change this feature since it's the exact same
method used in Adobe Photo shop, which seems to define the standard
throughout the commercial art field.
I can't see why you'd call it lame as it enhances the ability to
archive a high definition picture while creating the lower ability
pictures for the web.
Save=Save high definition archive picture,
Save Copy As= Save low quality web picture.
Save=.PSP mode,
Save Copy As= last save format.
The copy is the low quality picture for the majority of us, so why
not. As to deleting... many of us save all of our work so we can
re-use parts of it.
Therefore, I suggest that JASC is using the feature in the correct
way, and your use is in error.

I asked for a set of Save Copy As buttons - 1 for each format - in the
next version... that way people need add to the toolbar only the Save
format button(s) they prefer... the programmers wouldn't need to add an
Edit Menu item for each one, and could still leave the SaveAs default at
the .PSP format.
Some people might want one for PNG, one for JPG, and one for TIF... some
might want just 2 other (non-.PSP) formats... et cetera... personally,
I want one for GIF, one for JPG, and one for BMP (we already have the
'SaveAs' for saving fresh scans in .PSP format).
I know the JASC rep that monitors this group replied to the thread, but
I didn't get to see it because my newsgroup server ate the message (all
I got was the header... but it had the "Attn: JASC" after the subject,
which I had added).
Maybe if enough people request the
'SaveCopyAs-toolbar-button-for-each-format' feature, that will make it
into the next version.

I second (or third) this idea. We do hundreds of scans saving in .jpg
format and the extra step involved in using" save copy as" is very
time consuming. Come on JASC let the owner decide what the default is
and where we want to save it!

Ok, maybe you can explain why 'Save Copy As' takes more steps then.
This is precisely the old PSP4 'Save' command, so why does it take
more steps?

default to their own format if they have one; PS defaults to *.PSD, Word
to *.DOC, CorelDraw to *.CDR, and so on. Why should PSP be different? In
the past, PSP didn't have its own format, but now it has, and it makes
perfect sense to make it the default.

For one thing when you close the image PSP 5.0 doesn't recognize that
the image has been saved and you get the window, "Save?". If you say
yes, you get the PSP save. To further compound aggrivation when you come back
in for a second session that non-PSP file isn't part of the File pull down
previous image list at the bottom of the menu. And, I dont' know about others,
but it's more of a pain to hit Ctrl-F12 than it is to hit Ctrl-S. Of course if
you don't type and only use a mouse I guess it doesn't make much difference.
And your support of "JASC is doing no more than others with their
proprietary format" is lame. I thought the one beauty of computers was
organization and consistency. If I can only use PSP within JASC it's
kinda useless to my computer endeavors. My computer activities isn't limited
to PSP, is yours?

So.. you object to clicking on 'no' when you close the program? May I
suggest that you're easily aggravated.

Actually, to my way of thinking, there isn't much difference at all.

Are you new to computers? In working with computers for the past 30
years, I have yet to find much that IS organized and consistent. Even
Windows changes considerably from version to version.

No, but on the other hand, there isn't much that is universal these
days. Adobe's PSD (version 5) doesn't exchange between PSP5, Painter
5, or any other program. In order to use PS5, I have to save the
graphic, fire up PS 4, load the image, then save as PSD format in
order to use Painter 5. Luckily, most of Meta Creations programs use
a pretty universal version of PSD, so I can use that, even with PSP5,
Bryce 3D, Poser 3, and a few other programs I use. Some consistency,
eh?

While I agree with the sentiment, why don't you use "File/Batch
Conversion" until JASC bows to public pressure.

I haven't seen much about it yet, and am squirming a little at the $100
upgrade cost. (sorry for going off-topic. I gotta quit playing with so many
different programs and concentrate on one. Hopefully PSP5.) ROTC

3 concentrates on more details, such as the face, hands and feet. The
trouble is if you expand the image enough to see facial details, you
can also see where the items are patched in. i.e. ears look like
they're on plugs that have been partially inserted into the head.
While this is supposed to be one of the advantages of 3 over 2, it's
my feeling that the programmers forgot the primary function of the
program is to give the artist a model to work upon.
If you're wanting a basic model to paint upon, 2 will satisfy you. 3
will only add details that may not help much. On the other hand....
Vice versa for generating a finished product.
